Besides tumor T stage, Fuhrman grade, and ECOG-PS, B4GALT1 expression was identified as an independent prognostic factor for OS (Table 2, dichotomous B4GALT1: HR = 3.234, CI: 1.388–7.536, P = 0.007 in training cohort; HR = 3.007, CI: 1.504–6.013, P = 0.002 in validation cohort). This evidence concerns the gene B4GALT1 and neoplasm.
